In today's fast-paced software development landscape, microservices have emerged as a popular architectural pattern. But what exactly are microservices? In a nutshell, microservices are a way of structuring an application as a collection of loosely coupled, fine-grained services that communicate through lightweight protocols. This architectural style enables teams to develop and deploy services independently, offering flexibility and scalability to the software development process.

With the launch of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, in November 2022, large language models (LLMs) and generative AI have become a global sensation, making their way to the top of boardroom agendas and household discussions worldwide. GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) technology and the LLM-based AI systems that drive it have huge implications and potential advantages for many tasks, from improving customer service to increasing employee productivity.

As a database administrator, have you ever been in a situation when your database confronted a brute force attack? A brute force attack can be launched against a user account in MySQL. MySQL replies with success or error based on supplied credentials, and the time required for the verification is almost the same in either case. Hence, an attacker can launch a brute force attack against a MySQL user account at a rapid rate and can try many different passwords.

Most organizations prefer to deploy containerized applications into K8s because of its scalability and flexibility. But as the number of microservices increased and application pods are distributed across multiple clusters and cloud providers, managing and scaling them has become complex. While scaling, it is harder to configure complex communication logic between microservices.

As applications transform to be more distributed across multiple cloud environments, it becomes more important—and more difficult—to make them observable. OpenTelemetry , the open source observability tool, has become the go-to standard for instrumenting custom applications to help software developers and operations teams understand what their software is doing and where it’s running into snags.

Motivation CockroachDB makes multi-region simple. When CockroachDB spans geographically, we often need to add a minimum of two more regions for a multi-region cluster. This unique capability has many strengths but it comes at a cost. Oftentimes, our customers demand CockroachDB be available in regions where we see low demand, and bringing those regions online is not cost-effective to the organization.

Historically MySQL is great in horizontal READ scale. The scaling, in that case, is offered by the different number of Replica nodes, no matter if using standard asynchronous replication or synchronous replication. However, those solutions do not offer the same level of scaling for writes operation. Why? Because the solutions still rely on writing in one single node that works as Primary.

Anyone who’s concerned with developing, delivering, and operating software knows the importance of making software and the systems it runs on observable. That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough.

For cloud operations teams, network performance monitoring is central in ensuring application and infrastructure performance. If the network is sluggish, an application may also be slow, frustrating users. Worse, a malicious attacker may gain access to the network, compromising sensitive application data. Still, despite having adopted myriad network monitoring tools, organizations still struggle to identify whether the network is at fault for application and infrastructure problems.
